I have a brother up there that rails against intrusive government but won’t leave. Ya get what ya deserve. After the next big one, there should be some good beach front property in Utah. I look forward to it.

to the people of Oregon, you have earned the gov’t your getting, enjoy. Didn’t they just legalize pot??

There are a lot of conservatives here in Oregon. The problem is that we’re vastly outnumbered by the “progressives” that make up most of Multnomah, Washington and Marion counties.

“Medical marijuana” has been legal in Oregon for several years now. It’s Washington state and Colorado that just legalized it.

The insanity of liberalism.

I am Mormon and hate tobacco.
I also oppose persecuting smokers.

Left Coast conservatives are welcome in Texas

We might be willing to take a liberal or two here in East Texas. Gotta feed the ‘gators something.

quite honestly, men 35 or older should have their testosterone boosted.

ninjapirate on January 25, 2013 at 2:39 PM

…quite honestly, that’s about as stupid of a post as I have ever read…good grief…

Quite honestly, this might be the most well thought out and articulated rebuttal I have ever seen Charlie Brown. Did you major in rhetoric while at Oxford perchance? You are indeed a scholar and a gentleman.

Ya’ll know what else moves into places that have a good economy ?
Parasites and moochers.
Beware my friends in TX, you might turn into CA in a few years :(

burrata on January 25, 2013 at 3:54 PM

The diehard liberals move to New Mexico or stay in Austin.

The moochers eventually move…or stay in Sheila’s district.

Texas isn’t perfect but we don’t try to be…We just want the legislature to do a decent commonsense job and stay out of our hair.

Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:54:25 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=240944#comment-6670735I quit smoking thirteen years ago. My decision — not the government’s. But both before I quit and after I quit, I’ve maintained that I never smoked six or seven cigarettes, then got behind the wheel of a car and killed a family of five.

This whole anti-cigarette thing is stupid. It is legal, and it’s never going completely away. In Nebraska it is illegal to smoke in any public facility, including bars and restaurants. I’ve been against the idea from the git-go. If I own a restaurant or a bar or a bowling alley or whatever else, it should be my choice to allow smoking on premises or not — not the government’s. People are fully capable of deciding whether or not to patronize a place where smoking is allowed and whether or not to accept employment in a place that permits smoking. I find it truly pathetic to drive past a bar in way-below-zero temperatures and spy a handful of people huddled just outside the door sneaking a smoke. I also find it obnoxious to walk through a cloud of smoke to go into the grocery store.

Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:25:07 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=240944#comment-6670580The Tobacco Industry made a HUGE mistake when the BIG lawsuit was levied against them.

They should have simply stopped selling cigarettes to the states that were suing them. I mean the states were holding them responsible for Health Issues within the borders, so they comply with the state’s wishes by not selling there any more.

They would have only had to do the first two or three states to sign on, and the outcry would have put a halt to most of the nonsense that goes on now.

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. { + (1)(a) The State Board of Pharmacy may not
adopt rules that exempt a product containing nicotine from
classification as a controlled substance.

This is an interesting inclusion. This means that nicorette gum and e-cigs would also require a prescription. This despite the fact that nicotine is not regarded as a carcinogen. These idiots believe these things are a gateway to cigarettes. They aren’t, in fatc just the opposite.
